​Let the water run over you as you focus on your breathing. Try to calm your mind and push thoughts out of your head. Keep your mind locked onto breathing in and then breathing out.

​32. Moss Bath Mat

​Take your bathroom to the next level with this real moss bath mat. When you step out of the shower, the water droplets fall down on the moss and water it. This is a great DIY project that is easy enough for you to try, ​while keeping in mind that the water will serve a better purpose, rather than just having to clean it all up later on.

​36. Plan Out Your Day

​While you are feeling relaxed under the hot water, plan out your day. Make a mental list of things you need to get done. Since you are feeling relaxed, you can get a clearer picture to plan.

This is a better time than when you are running around the house frantically trying to get ready or when you are stuck in traffic that has you starting to stress out.

37. Practice for an Upcoming Event

Have an important meeting coming up, or a big presentation to make? Perhaps you just have a difficult conversation that you need to have. There are so many scenarios in life where practicing ahead of time can make a big difference.

The shower is a great place to do this. There is plenty of time, no one to distract you, and no one to hear you.

38. Listen To Your Favorite Podcast

Grab a waterproof speaker and bluetooth your favorite podcast to it. You can leave your phone on the counter so it doesn’t get wet, and have the speaker in the shower with you.

What better way to use that shower time to be inspired, educated, or just laugh a little.

39. Write Messages For The Next Person

Once you get the shower steamy, the shower doors will fog up from steam. If you write something on the doors with your fingers, you’ll see the steam clear up. And, when you stop your shower and the steam goes away, you won’t be able to see the writing.
